TN - Joann, 31, & Adrienne Bain, 14, Whiteville, 27 April 2012 - #2

[Hopeful One]

Good morning, all. I haven't been able to check in since late yesterday afternoon. Did I miss anything? Any breaking news? TIA!

 

[CinnamonGirl]

When I did some looking around last week, I found where GB and AM lived next door to each other in Whiteville TN. Not at the place GB lives now. So maybe when they were married to the sisters, they shared a piece of property.

 

[sleuthupdate]

I put something together for this case. It's possible that I've goofed somewhere. If so, please point out my mistakes so I can correct them. Thanks.

Great list! I think more info on dates of marriages and divorces would also be useful. One media report indicated AM married TM in 2000, which is probably near conception/birth of AB (12 y-o).

Not sure when JB was divorced from first husband, but my guess is it is shortly thereafter.

Also not sure how long gap was between divorce from first husband and marriage to GB.

To me the 2 younger girls look so much a like. I personally can not see them having different dads.

????
They don't have the same father since the current husband is only the official father of the youngest one but not the older two. Her current husband is reported as a step-father of the older two children.

Not quoting your post in order to save space on the thread page......

Thanks....good compilation of the information....could you add Adrienne to that list of family members? I know that she is mentioned in the first paragraph...but it just seems right that she should be listed separately as her sisters are...TIA

jmo

Thanks. That was an oversight. I was starting to nod off as I was putting that together.

Biological fathers of JB's children are far from clear.

I would like to add in the first date of contact between the police and Adam Mayes. But I have not been able to find that information. If someone can show me something on that, I will try to add it. I probably will add, clarify and revise as I read through some of the stuff that has already been printed.

 

[jjenny]

I have no idea!

But i do agree they should have taken her out.

Im not arguing with ya!

They should have, but I am glad they didn't, since we can actually see she isn't one of the missing girls. Otherwise speculation that she was would never stop.

I thought I read it somewhere that GB adopted the two oldest children which would not make him their stepfather.
Does anyone have a link that shows that GB legally adopted these two older children?
MOO

Since he was the last person to have seen abductees prior to abduction, my guess is he was initially questioned the weekend of Apr 28-29, following the missing persons report.

Step-father, adoptive father-the point is, the current husband isn't a bio father of the older two children.

NOW I Have A HUGE question!

RE:
Gov. Haslam is offering $15,000 for information leading to the apprehension, arrest and conviction or the person or persons who have committed, attempted to commit or co


Why would he offer 50 grand for holly Bobo and 15 for these 2 girls that they can possibly bring home safe?

I cant understand that!

50 grand would get ppl talking thats alot of money for most of those ppl!

 

[Mendara]

He will be cornered soon. I can only hope the girls are still alive and he lets them go before he takes himself out or before LE takes him out.

[SurfieTX]

(CBS/AP) GUNTOWN, Miss. - FBI agents and police from Mississippi and Tennessee are expected to resume searching woods and back roads on Wednesday for Adam Mayes, the 35-year-old suspect wanted for allegedly killing Tennessee mom Jo Ann Bain and her oldest daughter and then fleeing with her two other girls.

Yesterday, authorities canvassed roads and searched tree lines near the home where Mayes lived in Union County, Mississippi. Authorities have been tight-lipped about the details of the search, hoping to avoid releasing information that could put the girls' lives in jeopardy.

The FBI said Tuesday that authorities were hopeful the two young girls - Alexandra Bain, 12, and Kyliyah Bain, 8 - were still alive, but declined to say why. Investigators believed the two youngest daughters were still with Mayes, FBI spokesman Joel Siskovic said.

I'm glad you put the ages of Jo Ann and her husband at time of the birth of her children. I might be alone in my thinking, but the dynamics of this family have my eyebrows raising. Maybe it is just me, but I don't understand a 20 yr old being attracted to someone who is so much older than her. Did I read correctly that her first husband was a biker? Does anyone know if GB has biker affiliations? I have thought all along that AM is affiliated with a biker club. I've read enough to know that women are treated as property by many bikers. I have also read about certain biker club presidents being arrested for child and more. Anyone know the age of the ex hubby MJ? Maybe JB just had a thing for older men or something. I just think there is way more to this story than any of us have heard. Also want to add that I am in no way making accusations at anyone, just trying to tactfully convey the thoughts floating around in my head about all of this. IF there is an organized biker element involved, then there is no telling what the truth is regarding this entire situation.

Muckrucker you may want to edit your post, it is quoting a minor and against TOS

You can leave the body of the article just remove the name

Thanks! Luckily the Nurse caught it before I could get back. I know better.

Good eye and thanks for watching out for the minors.

 

[palaminodee]

A few items bothering me:

What EX-wife (on affidavit from TN LE) would still live with her EX (AM) and assist with a crime??

To clarify; they are being held in TN because TN LE is leading this case; not MS LE.
JB and AB were kidnapped and likely died in TN. All were kidnapped from TN.

Why and how on earth did AM, TM and MFM nonchalantly hang around Alpine and Guntown, MS three days after the kidnapping? AM goes into a convenient store on 4/30 to buy a pop where everyone can see him??
They leave all the evidence at their home in a trailer and bury the victims in their own backyard?
Just Crazy!
Did they really think LE is that stupid as well as the rest of us piecing this together?

It leads me to believe this was a plan gone bad and they were clueless as what to do?

 

[willow1]

If you heard him talking in the convenience store surveillance video, he sounded 'off' in a brain damaged kind of way. Could explain a lot.
